The way our defence works, we don't go one on one often. They guard space and peel off to help each other in the contest. You would want to play a defensive forward on Hurn, his kicking is elite and he will cut you if you let him run.
Well, who would have thought this would be a prelim match up at the beginning of the year?
From our side of the fence I think Shuey will definitely play. Being reported as a 2-3 week injury, but he will have had 2 weeks off come game day. It's not as simple as beating us in the middle though...
Only if he does something dirty to one of our players, otherwise why the hell would we boo him?
Edit:actually we will boo him if he is having a shot on goal come to think of it. But we do that for everyone. No special treatment there! ;)
Re: How do we fix the ducking tactic?
So then every player then tackles the opposition high because they know they will then get a free and a fifty?? Because it is surely the player who puts his head over the balls fault, the tackler has no responsiblity to tackle correctly right?
I hope...
Re: West Coast Eagles ducking off to bed happy
Hang on, we had 17 more inside 50's, 15 more scoring shots, won by 25 points and it was the umpires fault?
That just smacks of sour grapes. I know this is your board, but honestly?:o
The fact that we also had six of our best 18 players out...
If we bring our "A" game, I wont be worried, we will win. The thing is we have seen little of it this year. Its more if we can win with our B+ game!:(
The crowd wont be as one sided as you think either, we have got a good membership base in Victoria these days. There was a lot of support for...
Sorry, I meant Freo traditionally lose after they win a Derby and win after they have lost. Our record is pretty good after, win or lose.:p
Its actually our third visit to the TD, we played the Doggies there two weeks ago, 87 point win.
It will be a lot closer than our earlier encounter...
Chick is out with a fractured larynx.
Judd will play, was down a bit this week, but the previous two weeks was OK. (OK for Judd = good for everyone else;))
Traditionally the winner of the derby loses the next week, and the loser has a big win. Heres to keeping up traditions!:)
The difference between your team and Fremantle is that Fremantle had nothing to lose!
They aren't playing finals this year, so they could afford to throw caution to the wind, who cares if anyone of them got suspended?
West Coast players were under strict instructions not to retaliate as they...
Yeah, thats how we beat you, we had a look at your game against Melbourne the week before and thought, gee we should play like that!:rolleyes:
Well done on your season, you have surpassed what everyone thought you would be capable of I'm sure, but to say your game is copied by other teams is...
Right back at ya.
Geez, you're going back a few years with some of those?
So we booed Archer and it pricked your sensitive hide, get over it.
Honestly you reckon West Coast supporters have over reacted by booing Archer, but what type of supporters of our club would we be if we just cheered...
We are West Coast supporters first, and he has done nothing for our club except sink the boot in when we were getting hammered from all sides.
The thing that pissed people off was that if his son ever played AFL it would be for the Kangas presumably, so the statement was totally unneccessary.
Nicholls had an absolute shocker full stop mate. There were plenty of frees in West Coasts inside 50 that he completely ignored as well, so dont feel hard done by.
Luckily for all concerned he was injured and didn't come back after 3/4 time. He should be dropped next week anyway.
Sounds like sour grapes mate, we are the reigning premiers remember?:rolleyes:
For a team of very young players they did pretty well. Dont forget we have six players missing from our best 22, including Brownlow medalist, runner up Brownlow medalist and a Norm Smith medalist. Give us a chance, we...
